So I was reading my scriptures the other day and I started thinking about Isaiah. Who was he? What kind of man or prophet was he? He is the most quoted prophet in all the scriptures. His words can be found repeated and used and explained in almost every book of scripture and his prophecies are some of the greatest ever made concerning Christ and the Second Coming. There are few prophets that claim to have been shown the whole history of the earth and fewer still that were allowed to write it in any detail and Isaiah is one of them. Was he a prophet of extraordinary faith that he was given such marvelous visions? or was his suffering so great that the Lord in his mercy gave him these privileges to comfort him through his trials? Of all the prophets who are known for their greatness Isaiah is not listed because no one knows who he was. All that I have ever heard is that he was considered a mad man and died a gruesome death. I can't help but stop and wonder who was Isaiah?

It was a lonely weekend
One part of me just wants to tell you everything
One part just needs the quiet
and if I'm lonely here
I'm lonely here
and on the telephone
you offer reassurance
- Toad the Wet Sprocket
Me and You
I have so much to tell you
I just can't let it out
All I can say is whats true
yet it fills me with doubt
I am here all alone
Wondering what to do
I look at the phone
Hoping to see you
I want you here with me
To spend your days with me
I want you to be with me
To share your life with me
In the silence of my mind
I can see us so content
With you so very kind
And me ready to relent
Yet you will never see
the agony I feel
You think it'd never be
for you it isn't real
I want you here with me
To spend your days with me
I want you to be with me
To share your life with me
You serach and will never find
That oh so perfect boy
You have already closed your mind
and made him but a toy
You give up what you know
For the chance of another
Destroying the love you sow
by treating him as a brother
I want you here with me
To spend your days with me
I want you to be with me
To share your life with me
I have so much to tell you
I just can't let it out
All I can say is whats true
yet it fills me with doubt
I am here all alone
Wondering what to do
I look at the phone
Hoping to see you
